Mangystau province
Bozjyra
Bozjyra, sometimes spelled as Boszhira, is the symbol of Mangystau
Bozjyra is a magnificent creation of weathering and erosion, located on the territory of the Ustyurt Plateau. Here you can see vast clay deserts, limestone mountains, buttes more than 200 meters (650 ft) high. In the Mesozoic Era this area was covered by the Tethys Ocean, so now here you can find a lot of fossilized shells and teeth of prehistoric sharks.
Bozjyra is the must-see attraction of the Mangystau Province, that will definitely cause a lot of emotions.
